WYDEN: Do you believe in a nursing home there should be a registered nurse available around the clock?

DR OZ: As you know, that's a complicated question

WYDEN: No it's not. We need a nurse in a nursing home. Not too complicated.

A professor of environmental sciences gives a quick punchy take on the "eye-popping" numbers re. how clean air promotes economic growth.

An EPA analysis of 20 years of the Clean Air Act (1970-90) found the economic benefits of the regulations were about 42X greater than the costs.

No pay wall.

This is a lie... First of all town halls aren't being held in "arenas" they are being held in churches, schools and community centers. Second, 90% of the time you have to be a resident who lives in the district to register to attend with a valid address.
Mike Johnson: "The problem is they're being ambushed by right now by in many cases paid protesters. You've got George Soros-funded groups. They are very well organized ... the actual constituents of these Republican members can't actually make it into the arenas."

Few people know 230 as well as Mike
Democracy is burning, and we need sites like Bluesky more than ever. And Senator Durbin wants to repeal 230, which would massively stifle the ability of sites like Bluesky to exist, while massively empowering X and Meta.

Why?

It seems that someone in his office doesn't understand 230.
It’s time to repeal Section 230. We must be able to take social media companies to court for addicting kids and enabling drug trafficking on their platforms.

I think people are kinda missing the point of what Trump is talking about by dismantling FEMA. His vision is clearly that the federal government helps red states and lets blue states fend for themselves. Trump is not going to screw over red states, but he'll gladly punish blue ones.

Trump falsely claims Biden admin’s decisions to allow Ukraine to launch US ATACMS into Russian territory led to North Koreans being deployed to Russia, entering the war. But Pyongyang sent 11,000 troops to Russia a month earlier. In fact, part of Biden’s reasoning was North Korea foray into war.
